ABSTRACT:
The invention is an improved vehicle for the transport and care of patients, particularly incontinent patients. The vehicle combines the facility of a wheel chair and a bed-like transport vehicle, such as a mobile stretcher. The vehicle is particularly useful in providing care for incontinent patients who also are difficult to move when providing the care. The basic vehicle resembles a wheel chair which can be conveniently modified, without first moving the patient, into a bed-like facility. In making the modification the vehicle has a collapsible support device as the back portion of the basic wheel chair is lowered to form the bed-like configuration. The vehicle also serves as a temporary rest facility for wheel chair patients who are difficult to move from the wheel-chair to a normal bed facility. The vehicle thus facilitates one attendant care of a patient.
